Abstract
The thermodynamical properties of the trapped interacting Bose gas are investigated when both atom-atom interactions and finite size are taken into account. Using the ordinary sum method for the grand canonical ensemble and mean-field theory, effects due to atom-atom interactions and the finite size of the system are given simultaneously.
